Question from a novice... 1

Hi there !
I'm trying to get a set of buttons active.
I need my buttons (0 to 9) to fill a password field with their value (0 to 9) and then to compare the string to another. I'm only able to fill this password field with keyboard but not with my buttons.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Kiom

You'll have to think backwards for that one. The textfield you are using for key input holds a variable ... the way you have it working at the moment is that the user inputs that variable with the keys, and the variable is checked against a legitimate password to see if it is correct.

If you want button input, your buttons will have to make the variable directly, by appending each of their values to the existing variable string. The only function of the textfield in this instance is to show how many characters the user has input.

I hope you got that ... it's difficult to explain. If you need any more help, feel free to email me directly, or just post here again.
